Vegetable Hakka Noodles | With Homemade Noodles

Vegetable Hakka Noodles is a popular Indo-Chinese preparation. In this recipe, I’ve shown how to make noodles from scratch at home using maida (all-purpose flour). You can also take all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour in the ratio of 1:1 OR you can use hakka noodles available in market.

INGREDIENTS

To make noodles:

1 Cup plain flour (maida)

Some water to make noodle dough

Salt to taste

Note: Instead of making noodles at home, you can also use 200 gm pack of readymade hakka noodls

To make hakka noodles:

2 Medium sized thinly sliced onions

1/2 Cup thinly sliced (julienne) carrots

1/2 Cup thinly sliced cabbage

Water to boil noodles

Some more plain flour or maida to roll noodle dough

1/2 Cup thinly sliced (julienne) capsicum

1 Tbsp soy sauce

5” chopped ginger

1 Finely chopped green chilli

1 Tbsp finely chopped garlic

Salt to taste

1 Tsp red chili powder or red chili sauce

1 Tsp vinegar

3 Tbsp cooking oil

METHOD

To make the noodles:

Take 1 cup plain flour (maida) in a bowl, add some salt and make a stiff dough by adding water as required.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 5 min.

After 5 min knead the dough again for a min. Take half of the dough and roll it in a thin oblong sheet. Fold the sheet twice or thrice along the shorter side. Dust the sheet with maida after every fold. This would look like a flat roll.

Now cut this sheet into thin strips using a knife OR alternatively, you can roll the dough and cut in into noodles using pasta machine as shown in the video.

Now, boil some water & add salt and 1 tsp oil to it. Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook for a min or two. If you are using readymade dried noodles or homemade dried noodles, boil them till they are done.

Strain the noodles using a strainer and put them in cold water to stop further cooking and again strain. Put some oil and keep these noodles aside.

To stir fry the noodles:

Heat 3 tbsp oil in a kadhai or a wok and add 2 medium size sliced onions. Sauté for a min on high flame.
